Kenya: Ruto Says "Not To Be Blamed For Deaths" As Protests In Nairobi Continue | Firstpost Africa
After days of deadly protests in Kenya against new tax hikes, President William Ruto says he has no blood on his hands, as he insists, he is not to be blamed for the protest deaths. Rights groups say at least 30 were killed in the week-long protests, however, Ruto has put the toll on 19 during an interview with Kenyan TV. Ruto said an investigation will be launched into the deaths, however, he also warned action against "criminals" who attacked the country's parliament last Tuesday. Several protesters continued their peaceful march in the capital Nairobi on Sunday to honour those who were killed in the protests.

[@ianotieri5912]

He’s addressing the IMF not KENYANS

[@MK-to5lc]

He knows how to talk but he doesn’t know how the Kenyan people live in pain.

[@phoebejohnson9570]

Already frustrated as he does to the people of Kenya. Kenya is bigger than Ruto.

[@user-uj8pj8rv9d]

Thanks you for the news

[@nyambats]

Correction he didn't condemn loss of lifes only loss of property.

[@sky2xcl]

Poleni sana kwa maafa na msiba. Why does the media sound so biased. And by the way they interrupts Ruto constantly, just to drive a point . I actually checked that bill and I didn't see anything to do with land owners leasing, that was bs and fabricated. Right? The question is, is there a bigger picture behind the small picture? Like an entity that feeds on our debt that is mad that its plate might get smaller with time. I believe this one is pulling the strings attached. Expose those ticks. Also on educating citizens about national debt. I suggest a big screen to be raised where everyone can see the national debt clock in real-time asap.

You on point

[@hendricaoduba6028]

[@afrakanaswahilitv5520]

Wakenya hatutaki vikwazo, chagizo na ghiliba za shirika la fedha la kimataifa (IMF) na benki ya Dunia. Mikopo haitachukuliwa na Rais wa nchi bila kuidhinishwa na wakenya. Ufisadi na ubadhirifu katika ofisi za serikali lazima ukome, mishahara, marupurupu na mafao kwa maofisa wa ngazi za juu serikalini lazima yapunguzwe na wastani asilimia 50%.

[@ayannur9480]
